Sarlayan is indeed reckless, but he is not stupid. His recklessness has a purpose.
The trolls outside Amani's tomb are heavily guarded. According to the experienced Vereesa, there is also a spell warning at the entrance of the cave, which will be triggered if it approaches.
Valeera is the only thief in the four-person team who has the ability to dismantle traps.
But after all, she is still young and inexperienced, so she is not very confident in dismantling magic traps.
Instead of lurking at the entrance of the tomb to trigger the alarm, it is better to jump out and alert the snake. The trio hiding in the dark can see the target's escape direction and take targeted actions.
With Vereesa, a senior ranger, even if the opponent is a mage, Vereesa can interrupt him in time before he finishes reciting the long and smelly teleportation spell.
Sure enough, Sarlayan's battle roar was like a depth charge thrown into the sea, and the trolls and high elf traitors hiding in the tomb who were secretly plotting were blasted out at the same time.
When two trolls with obviously unusual identities rushed out from the main entrance of the tomb to check the situation, the mysterious man in a hooded black robe panicked and ran away into the forest halfway up the mountain.
"I'll go after them, and you can entangle the two troll leaders."
"Lyras, be careful, don't fight him head-on."
After saying this, Veresa's long, fair and toned legs suddenly exerted force.
Liras and Valeela could only catch a shadow flashing past, and Vereesa had already rushed forward more than ten meters as if teleporting.
Valeera frowned as she looked at the man in black robe who fled in a hurry. His behavior was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
‘Such an embarrassing escape posture does not look like the foresighted traitor himself... a bad premonition.’
Valeera is just the leader of this special investigation team, and Vereesa is the real main force in the team.
Her feet in brown leather boots seemed to tap lightly on the ground several times, and Vereesa quickly jumped to a short distance behind the man in black robes.
The two trolls who were suspected to be the leaders obviously knew that their conspiracy with the high elf traitors would not be brought to light.
One of them took off the throwing ax from his waist. His originally dark blue skin suddenly turned red. He raised the flying ax above his head and began to accumulate power.
"That's the Furious Headhunter, Lyras!"
"give it to me!"
"Whoosh!"
At the same time as Valeera spoke, Lylas had already fully drawn the bow string and shot the arrow in his hand without taking more aim.
Just as he took a stance and planned to throw a throwing ax to interfere with Vereesa's pursuit, the giant cat-headed troll next to the furious headhunter suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back a step.
The arrow fired by Lyras just missed the violent headhunter's chest and caused a streak of blood on his skin.
This little skin injury is nothing to a troll with an amazing ability to heal itself.
But after a moment of delay, Vereesa, who was unimpeded, had already captured the target and roughly pushed him to the ground from behind.
Valeera took a deep breath and whispered to Lilas: "Try to keep a distance and contain them remotely, and I will help you out at the right time."
The outline of Valeera's figure gradually became darker, and the weak shadow power completely obscured her body.
Due to his special upbringing environment, Lylas has a cautious personality and will not make reckless actions like Sarlayan's, which involves risking his life through injury.
Seeing the two troll leaders looking at him fiercely, Lyras's heart began to beat faster due to nervousness.
The troll with the head of a big furry cat glanced at Lilas with contempt, suddenly turned around and got down on all fours, speeding up and running on all fours in a way that was contrary to the habits of intelligent creatures.
His target was Vereesa, who had captured the man in black robes.
The furious headhunter who stayed behind grinned ferociously.
He didn't try to close the distance, but leaned back and made a throwing motion.
"call!"
Accompanied by the violent sound of breaking wind, the violent headhunter threw the throwing ax vigorously.
At the moment of crisis, Lylas quickly drew his bow and shot three arrows in succession before barely missing the flight path of the flying axe.
The violent headhunter usually only prepares four small throwing axes. The special profession of this troll is not just a long-range shooter. Even when getting up close, it has the fighting ability that is not inferior to that of a warrior.
After throwing the second throwing ax, the violent headhunter kicked the ground hard with both feet, followed closely behind the throwing ax and accelerated towards Lyras.
This time, Lilas did not forcefully pick up the opponent, but moved his feet and hid behind a big tree.
"Boom!"
The sharp flying ax penetrated the wood for three points.
Just when Lylas was about to poke his head out from behind the tree and turn from defense to attack, he unexpectedly discovered that the violent headhunter was less than ten meters away from him.
"So fast! But..."
The furious headhunter who was running kept his body as low as possible to reduce wind resistance.
When he reached a distance where he could clearly see the fur on Lylas's face, the violent headhunter suddenly felt excited in his heart.
But it was not easy to stop from the high-speed sprint. In the end, he stepped into the trap laid by Lilas in advance.
"Bang!"
The activated freezing trap immediately released condensed cold air, freezing the violent headhunter's legs into ice sculptures, and the ice layer continued to spread upwards.
Rangers are experts in forest warfare who are proficient in archery and traps. It has become their instinct to set traps near their destination.
However, Lylas is still young after all. Although he has received elite education since he was a child, the improvement of his strength cannot be achieved overnight and requires a long time to accumulate.
If Vereesa were to set up this freezing trap, the enemy would be completely frozen within a second.
The physical qualities of the troll who turned on the violent state were greatly improved. He just relied on brute force to break free from the shackles of the freezing trap.
Holding the remaining two throwing axes in his hands at the same time, the violent headhunter continued to approach without stopping, and he was also ready to throw them at close range.
Just when the violent headhunter finished charging up, a chill suddenly came from behind him.
Valeera, who was sneaking aside and waiting for the opportunity, took action.
The dagger coated with paralyzing poison tore open the armor and skin on the back of the furious headhunter, leaving a deep bloody mark on his waist.
"You guys, do you want to win against me?"
The whole body was dyed red by the surging blood. The troll in the violent state was fearless. He picked up two short throwing axes, turned around on the spot and danced a large pirouette.
Valeera, who was preparing to pursue the victory, had to temporarily avoid the edge and withdraw from the enemy's specious whirlwind attack range.
The paralyzing poison is slowly taking effect. Even with the violent blessing that delays the poison's effect, this violent headhunter can still feel that his body is slowly being paralyzed.
Rage essentially consumes vitality in exchange for a substantial increase in physical ability in a short period of time. Even a troll with strong vitality cannot use it without limit.
The violent headhunter is very aware of the current situation. He must capture these two high elf rookies who are full of youthful aura before the status is lifted and the poison fully explodes. Otherwise... the consequences are needless to say.
…
On the other side, Vereesa casually knocked the black-robed man unconscious with her elbow and immediately turned around, waiting for the incoming enemy.
"Ouch!"
A beast-like howl roared from the mouth of the troll who was on all fours. His speed increased again, and he jumped in the direction of Vereesa like a big cat hunting.
On the gloves on his hands, five metal blades simulating the claws of beasts were clearly visible.
Withdrawing her battle bow, Vereesa pulled out two ranger daggers from her waists on both sides, crossing them in front of her.
She could clearly see that the enemy's target was not her, but the black-robed man who had fainted.
"Don't even think about it!"
The moment the two swords received force, Vereesa suddenly exerted force in the opposite direction, seizing the opportunity before the opponent's force was released to force the enemy back.
"Buzz!"
The vibrating swords were in a melee stance, and Vereesa sneered: "Want to kill someone and silence them? It's not that easy."
